== General ==

−

−

* Articles should be geared toward the current and development versions of Emacs, 23 and 24 at time of writing. References to older Emacs releases should generally be avoided.

−

* Articles should not reproduce documentation already available from another source. Many packages and extensions are well-documented on their own project sites; and Emacs itself includes extensive documentation. Link to official documentation where possible.

−

* Comments and questions belong on the Discussion pages, not in articles themselves. Always sign your comments using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. This expands to your username (if logged in) and adds a timestamp. Unsigned comments make the discussion hard to follow.

−

* Extensions and packages will '''not''' be hosted here. If you are looking for a place to host your extension try [https://github.com GitHub] or one of the other many hosting / source control platforms out there!
